The only benefit this would being, is email being saved on the server would be encrypted. Otherwise it offers no protection.

I guess if you paranoid that the system admin might read your emails, but then, he can just as easily read them as they come in or out of the system.

Quoting Christian Felsing <hostmas...@taunusstein.net>:

Hello,

I am new to Dovecot but installation was quite easy, so there is one
more LDAP authenticated, Dovecot / Postfix mailbox online, but there is
one question left:

I would like to set up a configuration, which encrypts every user mail
with a unique key. If user logs in, private key should be decrypted with
user password and every mail user requests should be decrypted with
users private key. If a mail comes in, it should be encrypted with users
public key. That key pair should be used for that purpose only.
Obviously a GnuPG plugin between deliver and rest of Dovecot is needed.

best reagrds
Christian
